Here's my '80 CB750F that I've been slowly building. I only work on it when Im bored with other projects. It looks like its a lot further along than it really is.  Thought Id share it...

Damn, that is really nice. A person could almost never mistake that for vintage. Looks killer!
Also, what is that headlight? Didn't have a frontal shot, so I could not see it.

My '82 Virago had a mono shock, it made me laugh every time I watched OCC and they bragged how "innovative" it was.
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.

Ok, so what is around the headlight then? Something you custom made with those holes?
